“Yuxin, don’t be so nervous…didn’t you see our tour bus absorbing the blue flames? Maybe…the tour bus can absorb the Sprite Queen,” said Ran Xiyu as she saw that Li Yuxin was willing to take risks to save Jiang Liushi. Although she was badly hurt, Ran Xiyu had observed the whole process carefully.
“Use the tour bus to absorb it? But how can we do it?” Li Yuxin felt confused. Only Jiang Liushi and Ying had the ability to control the bus. Thus, she quickly looked at Ying.
“Maybe, Brother Jiang doesn’t need to be rescued,” replied Ying, shaking her head.
“Uh?” Jiang Zhuying was shocked by her words. “Why?”
“Brother Jiang can deal with it by himself,” replied Ying.
“That’s how I feel,” added Ying seriously.
“What? That’s how you feel? That doesn’t make sense! What should we do in case something goes wrong with Captain Jiang’s condition?” asked Xiang Xuehai angrily.
At this crucial moment, nobody dared to take Jiang Liushi’s safety as a joke. However, Ying had given her opinion based on her ‘feeling’, so how could Xiang Xuehai not be angry?
Suddenly, after a long silence, Jiang Zhuying, who was the one that cared about Jiang Liushi the most, said, “I trust Ying.”
“Zhuying, you…” Xiang Xuehai was stunned.
At that moment, Ran Xiyu, Ling, and even Li Yuxin nodded in agreement. As a matter of fact, Ying was quite a mysterious person. None of them knew where she had come from nor any other personal details. Even still, her teammates had made a few conjectures based on tiny details from their daily life. Undoubtedly, Jiang Liushi and Ying shared a special connection, and that’s why they were the only ones who could drive the tour bus. Even if other sat in the driver’s seat, they could not launch it. Maybe Ying, who was kept silent all the time and sometimes could be busy for 24 straight hours, was the only one that knew Jiang Liushi’s secret.
“Xiyu and Yuxin, I think Brother Jiang needs your help. Although he isn’t in danger, it is likely that the Sprite Queen will hurt him if he can’t control his body for a long time,” said Ying.
“No problem. We will take good care of Brother Jiang, but what should we do now?” asked Li Yuxin.
They were used to Jiang Liushi planning the next steps, but since he could not do it now, they were conflicted.
Jiang Zhuying stepped up and said, “Firstly, we should search for their warehouse and raid it. They’ve collected many nuclei to nurture the infected people, so they should be stored somewhere around here. We will take everything, leaving nothing for them!” She had still a belly full of anger and hated Shen Hai to the bone. If not for him, her brother would not be in such a precarious situation.
“I’m really sorry. If not for me saying about the plague in the Northern Jiangsu, Captain Jiang would not have been involved,” said Xiang Xuehai guiltily.
“Miss Xiang, please don’t blame yourself. It is not your fault. My brother had already decided to Shenhai Island, so we would naturally pass through Jingling and Northern Jiangsu. In other words, we would meet Shen Hai sooner or later. Moreover, he knew about us and monitored our every movement. Even if we had not come, they would still come to find us,” consoled Jiang Zhuying.
Although she was worried about her brother, she didn’t blame anyone. Instead, Jiang Zhuying felt grateful to Xiang Xuehai. If not for Xiang Xuehai’s air assistance, the outcome would not be this one. Actually, Jiang Zhuying felt indebted to Xiang Xuehai.
“Uh, Zhuying, thank you,” said Xiang Xuehai in a low voice. Then, she smiled because she felt that she had been accepted by the team.
“Oh, Miss Xiang. What do you intend to do in the future?” asked Jiang Zhuying suddenly.
All this time, Xiang Xuehai and the Shi Ying Squad had banded together temporarily. That was because Xiang Xuehai would eventually return to her camp and realize her dreams. But now, the situation had changed. All of Xiang Xuehai’s members had abandoned her camp and left for Jinling only to fall under Shen Hai’s control. Xiang Xuehai had lost her foundation.
Xiang Xuehai sighed and answered worriedly, “I don’t know. All my members are gone…”
“Well, Sister Xiang, you…it’s better for you to come with us,” said Jiang Zhuying. She had looked at Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin carefully, and then changed the way she called Xiang Xuehai.
“I…” Xiang Xuehai smiled. Undoubtedly, she was quite willing to join their team. During the period of time they had spent together, she felt that Jiang Liushi’s team was excellent, and all members were on good terms with each other.
If Xiang Xuehai became a part of the team, she would be more than satisfied. Moreover, she loved being with Jiang Liushi. Thinking of that, her face turned red. She wanted to join the team but didn’t know whether the other members would accept her or not.
“I… Actually…” Xiang Xuehai was embarrassed to reply to Jiang Zhuying.
What came as a shock to Xiang Xuehai at that moment were Ran Xiyu’s following words. “Miss Xiang…stay with us. We need you, otherwise, Brother Jiang…” she said slowly.
In her heart, Jiang Liushi’s safety was the only thing for her to consider.
Who knew whether more enemies that could fly would appear in the future? If they could not be lifted in the air, they would become easy targets. If Xiang Xuehai was with them, the situation could be turned around easily.
“Miss Xiang, if you are willing to join us, please stay with us. We are a united team. Moreover, it’s a strange thing to call you Miss Xiang. Later, we will call you Sister Xiang or Xiangxiang,” said Li Yuxin. Of course, she knew Xiang Xuehai’s consideration.
After experiencing today’s fighting, Li Yuxin had accepted Xiang Xuehai from the depts of her heart. In this treacherous world, after all, the most important thing for them was to stay alive. One more formidable person would increase their chances to survive.
“Let’s go. We’ll collect all the resources in the base, and we will celebrate for our new member, Sister Xiang’s,” said Jiang Zhuying joyfully.
Since Xiang Xuehai joined them, the Shi Ying Squad could now fight at all fronts; ground, water, and air. Moreover, Luoluo had obtained a new powerful and life-saving ability. It could act as a shield!
‘Our future is bright. But when will brother wake up?’ thought Jiang Zhuying. After that, she shook her head and stopped feeling sad. She believed in Ying’s judgment.
“Om!”
The engine of the tour bus roared. They drove to the far end of Shen Hai’s base…
